My Teaching BackgroundI was raised by two musicians who taught at home - my mother taught piano and my father double bass (he also directed junior high school bands).

While completing my Bachelors of Music degree in Studio Music and Jazz at the University of Miami, I began teaching non-performance major guitar students at the University, while also teaching privately and at local music stores. After relocating to Los Angeles, I taught for a year at California State University in Northridge (Music Theory Classes and Jazz Guitar Lessons). After I became busy as touring musician, I taught only sporadically, but since relocating to Seattle in 2012 I've begun accepting a few dedicated students who want to increase the depth and breadth of their musical skills.
